Long story, but I cracked one of my rear wheels on my GS. I bought an aftermarket set to replace the OEM wheels. So I made a table for my man cave out of the black rear wheels. I am going to use the front wheels to use as ottomans for the chairs. I am having leather tops for the ottomans made to match the leather seats. The lamps is made from a harmonic balancer and a camshaft from an LS3.

That's pretty ef'in cool. Good for you to take a shitty situation with bad parts and put them into a piece of furniture/art. Nice!

Hey how wide is your garage? I have a 2 car and not sure if a 2nd vette will fit. I was curious what the measurements were so I could get an idea. Thanks!

The wife has a semi permanent ban in the Corvette at this point and little man, my 6 year boy has 1st right of refusal. He even knows which channel Octane is on and will ask for Rock n Roll to be put on when we go fast. So I am good amigo.
Cant bet that man dad and son out in the vette running the road together.. Robert

Some folks have said I am breaking law when they see little man in the Vette... My boy loves going fast and knows to make sure the XM radio is on Octane.

Heat pump for A/C and heat is my favorite man cave mod. Gets between 110 and 120 deg. F here during the summer and high 20's to low 30's in winter.

The split unit heat pump is a very sensible solution indeed. Much simpler and more flexible than fuel based heating. What are the ratings and consumption on that unit ?
